Correlation between gene mutation status and molecular subtypes
Overview
Introduction

This pipeline computes the correlation between significantly recurrent gene mutations and molecular subtypes.

Summary

Testing the association between mutation status of 47 genes and 6 molecular subtypes across 116 patients, 7 significant findings detected with P value < 0.05 and Q value < 0.25.

  • TP53 mutation correlated to 'CN_CNMF' and 'MIRSEQ_CHIERARCHICAL'.

  • PIK3CA mutation correlated to 'METHLYATION_CNMF' and 'MIRSEQ_CHIERARCHICAL'.

  • ACVR2A mutation correlated to 'CN_CNMF'.

  • ARID1A mutation correlated to 'CN_CNMF' and 'MIRSEQ_CHIERARCHICAL'.

Methods & Data
Input

  • Mutation data file = STAD-TP.mutsig.cluster.txt

  • Molecular subtypes file = STAD-TP.transferedmergedcluster.txt

  • Number of patients = 116

  • Number of significantly mutated genes = 47

  • Number of Molecular subtypes = 6

  • Exclude genes that fewer than K tumors have mutations, K = 3

Fisher's exact test

For binary or multi-class clinical features (nominal or ordinal), two-tailed Fisher's exact tests (Fisher 1922) were used to estimate the P values using the 'fisher.test' function in R

Q value calculation

For multiple hypothesis correction, Q value is the False Discovery Rate (FDR) analogue of the P value (Benjamini and Hochberg 1995), defined as the minimum FDR at which the test may be called significant. We used the 'Benjamini and Hochberg' method of 'p.adjust' function in R to convert P values into Q values.
